Reflect On This
“There is no more important
force for good in the community
than the newspaper. In the
smaller communities the weekly
pap^r has a relation to the public
that is very close and important.
Irt that community there is no
other agency that contributes
mor*. year after year, than the
weekly paper, no other agency
more faithful in the proper dis-
charge of that duty, even at the
sacrifice of material adventage
and important income. It is the
historian of the community, the
friShd of all. a suporter of the
right an active opponent of the
wrohg. It applies the whole-
somfeness of light and publicity
to public affairs and represents
the best thought of the puplic.
It had a claim on the commu-
